Pahto hop is known mainly for its robust bitterness, making it a popular choice among brewers who want a firm and clean bitterness profile in their beers.
In terms of aroma, Pahto offers subtle notes, predominantly earthy and herbal, with a light floral nuance. Pahto's alpha acid content is usually between 15% and 19%, positioning it as an excellent base for providing bitterness in a wide variety of beers, especially those where prominent bitterness is preferred, such as traditional IPAs, Pilsners and American Lagers.
Pahto is usually used at the beginning of the boil, maximizing its bitterness contribution.
